How about coming to Portland, OR after/before your Berkeley Workshop in October? I work at a shop that offers sewing classes. Please let me know if you are interested and I will talk to the shop owner.

Hello! I actually really did try to get more West Coast stops (in Portland & Seattle) and reached out to some shops, but was not able to secure anything. At this point, I am pretty booked up for 2018 and am not sure if I am able to squeeze in anymore travel this year. That being said, I’d love to chat with your shop about possible 2019 dates if they are indeed interested 🙂 Talk to them and have them email me if they want to discuss details!! And thank you so much for your interest!

I would love to attend one in Florida. South Florida (where I am) doesn’t have a lot of home sewists…but, there are more in the Central Florida area…maybe something can happen in 2019. Have you communicated with any shops in Florida?

Hi! I’m interested in taking your class in NH in August, but I can’t stand high waisted jeans, is it possible to do a pattern adjustment to make Ginger Jeans low rise or is that too complicated for the scope of the class?

Hello! There is a low rise version available in the pattern, and also a mid rise version that is available only as a PDF. You are welcome to sew either of those views in class (I recommend doing the mid-rise, the low rise is VERY low), the steps are the same as sewing the high-rise version.

I’ll be back in Berkeley sometime in October next year (dates are still being confirmed) for another jeans class, although it will be at Hello Stitch Studio. Stonemountain & Daughter doesn’t have the space for classes anymore 🙂 Once the dates are confirmed, I will list them ASAP!

Please come to California!! Hope about contacting Picking Daisies in San Luis Obispo or Birch Fabric (Fabric Worm) out of Paso Robles, CA? Both are located on the Central Coast of California, so we are equidistant from LA and San Francisco!!! I’d love to meet you and learn from the Lladybird god’dress’. 😉

Hi Lauren! Manon and I (the 2 frenchies at Camp workroom social) have just registered for your Ginger jeans class in Ottawa in may! I will finally cut into that cone mills denim I’m hanging on to since last year! We are looking forward to see again!

[…] useful! As I mentioned, this is a very common adjustment (at least half of my students in every Sew Your Own Jeans workshop that I teach ends up needing to make this adjustment!) that is a lot easier than it […]
